You set a goal. It feels exciting—motivating. Then, a week later, it’s gathering dust. Sound familiar?

In this season opener of Headstraight, we dive deep into why sticking to goals isn’t about willpower—it’s about understanding how your brain works, building habits that last, and shifting away from the “all or nothing” trap.

We cover:

• Why motivation dies off (and why that’s not your fault)
• What your brain really wants when you try to change
• How to build small habits that feel safe—and actually stick
• What to do when you miss a day (without falling off completely)
• The power of knowing your “why”—and how to use it to stay on track
• How to build a bounce-back plan that keeps you going

This episode is for you if you’ve ever thought:

• “Why do I give up so easily?”
• “I always start strong, then crash.”
• “I want to change, but I keep failing.”

Listen now to learn how to stop relying on hype and start creating changes that last—even when life gets messy.
